pre-dyed Easter eggs

yep, you read that right. I was at the Harris Teeter the other night and they have rolled out their Easter goods - jelly beans, peeps, cadbury cream eggs, and the newest item - pre-dyed Easter eggs.

Seriously? Has the rest of your life gotten so hectic and out of control that you can't even sit down with your kids and make Easter eggs? Dying Easter eggs was great fun when I was a kid - the perfect kind of mess with newspaper all over the kitchen table, and the yellow dye quickly becoming green as I double dip eggs after re-wraping them with rubberbands trying to get that perfect checkerboard.

Rather than spending 5 bucks on some pre-dyed Easter eggs, you should figure out how much of your time 5 bucks can buy, and even if it is only 60 seconds, leave work 60 seconds early and spend time with your family.
